Trouble DiagnosesNBEL0189WARNING:
IThe xenon headlamp has a high-tension current generating area. Be extremely careful when remov-
ing and installing. Be certain to disconnect the battery negative cable prior to removing or install-
ing.
IWhen the xenon headlamp is lit, do not touch the harness (covered with red or amber insulation),
bulb itself or the bulb socket with your bare hands.
INever service a xenon headlamp with wet hands.
IWhen checking body side harness with a circuit tester, be certain to disconnect the harness con-
nector from the xenon headlamp.
IWhen the xenon headlamp is lit, the xenon bulb must be installed in the headlamp housing. (Never
turn on xenon headlamp, if the bulb is out of the headlamp housing.)
CAUTION:
Make sure to install the bulb securely; if the xenon bulb is improperly installed in its socket, high-ten-
sion current leaks occur. This may lead to a melted bulb and/or bulb socket.
Symptom Possible cause Repair order
Neither headlamp operates. 1. 7.5A fuse

Headlamp LH (low and high beam)
does not operate, but headlamp
RH (low and high beam) does
operate.1. 15A fuse
2. Headlamp LH relay
3. Headlamp LH relay circuit1. Check 15A fuse (No. 60, located in fusible link and
fuse box). Verify battery positive voltage is present
at terminals 1 and 3 of headlamp LH relay.
2. Check headlamp LH relay.
3. Check harness between headlamp LH relay and
headlamp battery saver control unit.
Headlamp RH (low and high beam)
does not operate, but headlamp LH
(low and high beam) does operate.1. 15A fuse
2. Headlamp RH relay
3. Headlamp RH relay circuit1. Check 15A fuse (No. 59, located in fusible link and
fuse box). Verify battery positive voltage is present
at terminals 1 and 3 of headlamp RH relay.
2. Check headlamp RH relay.
3. Check harness between headlamp RH relay and
headlamp battery saver control unit.
LH high beam does not operate,
but LH low beam operates.1. Bulb
2. Headlamp LH relay
3. Open in the LH high beams cir-
cuit
4. Lighting switch
5. Lighting switch ground circuit1. Check bulb.
2. Check headlamp LH relay.
3. Check the following.
a. Harness between headlamp LH relay terminal 5 and
headlamp LH for open circuit.
b. Harness between headlamp LH and lighting switch
for open circuit.
4. Check lighting switch.
5. Check harness between lighting switch and ground.

System DescriptionNBEL0192The headlamp system for Canada vehicles contains a daytime light control unit that activates the high beam
headlamps at approximately half illumination whenever the engine is running. If the parking brake is applied
before the engine is started the daytime lights will not be illuminated. The daytime lights will illuminate once
the parking brake is released. Thereafter, the daytime lights will continue to operate when the parking brake
is applied.
And battery saver system is controlled by the headlamp battery saver control unit and smart entrance control
unit.
